No, I didn't! What you're proposing is fraught with danger,
though.

It's a risk that I don't want to take, to be honest.

I think you'd be ok in Paris, meself. We used to get into trouble [1]
regularly in Frascati, as the same local coppers would get to know us,
and our Foreign registered cars. they'd tell us 'isn't it about time
you re-registered those' [2]

That's not a bad idea, as it goes. I could just make sure that I have
my UK docs on me and pretend not to speak French. :-)

Heh, one of our lot tried that on the autostrada, after getting stopped
by the Carabinieri [1] for way too excessive speed (even for Italy). He
tried the shrug, and the 'Mi dispiache, non parlo italiano", to which
the rozzer said, "That's ok, I speak perfect English, ... now .... !"

Cheers

Paul.

qualified if officers.
